Quote from Zelenskyy: "[F]ierce confrontation continues almost along the entire frontline, a total of 1,300 kilometres of active hostilities.
And it is simply unfair that while certain parts of the front are widely discussed, others seem to be forgotten. Meanwhile, our warriors are doing an absolutely great job on many fronts - they are absolute heroes.
In Donbas, in Kharkiv Oblast, in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, in south[ern Ukraine], in areas near the [Ukrainian] border in the northern and eastern parts of the country."
Details: Zelenskyy also noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down five out of six Russian Kh-101 missiles over the course of the first half of Tuesday, 6 September. "This is an expensive loss for Russia that saved many Ukrainian lives," Zelenskyy added. He clarified that "[f]our of these missiles were shot down by military personnel of the Air Command Pivden (South)." "Well done, guys!" Zelenskyy concluded.
In addition, he thanked the soldiers of the 79th Airborne Assault Brigade, who continue to heroically repel the Russian forces on the Donetsk front, and those serving in the air defence forces.
